And it was her voice that landed her a Word Recording contract at the age of 14.<br /><br />The next 8 years of Rachael's life were filled with recording, touring, promoting - a crazy travel schedule that stretched right through adolescence. Some of her adventures included an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The View, ET, CNN, the privilege of recording at Abbey Road Studios in London, and a performance for the Pope in Rome in 2000.<br /><br />After a few years of rest and searching, Rachael Lampa got married, started writing music again, moved to Nashville and recorded <i>All We Need</i>.<br /><br /><b>Fun Fact:</b> Rachael starred as Sally in the Christian DVD Hidden Secrets, co-starring John Schneider (from The Dukes of Hazzard).<br /><br /><b>Album:</b> <i><a href="http://www.rachaellampa.com/store/" target="_blank">All We Need</a></i><br /><br /><b><span style="color: #990000;">Christmas Album:</span></b> <i><a href="http://www.rachaellampa.com/store/" target="_blank">Three Songs For Christmas</a></i><br /><br /><b>Twitter:</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/rachaellampa" target="_blank">@RachaelLampa</a><br /><br /><b>Instagram:</b> <a href="http://instagram.com/rachaellampa" target="_blank">CLICK 4 PICS</a><br /><br /><b>Tour:</b> <a href="http://www.rachaellampa.com/shows/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Want More?</b> <a href="http://www.rachaellampa.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Video:</b> <i>Blessed</i> (Acoustic)<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xXjyuNBWujM?rel=0" width="400"></iframe><br /><br />What artists would you like to hear featured on <a href="mailto:onair@wolc.org"><b><i>The Artist of the Day</i></b></a>?<br /><br /><span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">JOIN THE TEAM!</span><br />Joy 102.5 is a listener supported ministry. &nbsp;You can be a part of this amazing ministry by supporting us financially. <a href="http://wolc.org/donateFundraiser/index.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to learn more!<br /><br /><span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">LISTEN ONLINE</span><br /><a href="http://www.nwrnetwork.com/listen/player.asp?station=wolc-fm" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for Joy 102.5!<br /><br /><br />Josh Millwoodnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843229435633839484.post-79471456028204160392013-11-11T10:09:00.006-05:002013-11-11T10:09:37.466-05:00Monday, November 11, 2013A new week has dawned...<br />With a forecast that includes an ever so slight chance for snow...<br /><br /><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: x-large;">ARTIST OF THE DAY</span><br /><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: x-large;">Meredith Andrews</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/56989061/Meredith+Andrews.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/56989061/Meredith+Andrews.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />Meredith Andrews was working as the worship leader at Chicago's Harvest Bible Chapel when she was picked up by Word Records. &nbsp;Her debut album <i>The Invitation</i> propelled her into the spotlight, landed her a tour with Michael W.

Knowing God is with them, God is in control, and He will have His way." – Joel Houston<br /><br /><b>Album:</b> <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Zion-Deluxe-Edition-Hillsong-United/dp/B00AO7HOE4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1383836510&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=hillsong+united+zion" target="_blank">Zion</a></i><br /><br /><b>Twitter:</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/hillsongunited" target="_blank">@hillsongunited</a><br /><br /><b>Instagram:</b> <a href="http://instagram.com/hillsongunited#" target="_blank">CLICK 4 PICS</a><br /><br /><b>Tour:</b> <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.com/Hillsong-United-tickets/artist/1120451" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Want More?</b> <a href="https://hillsong.com/en/united/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Video:</b> <i>Relentless</i><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/4N9mCUsTapY?rel=0" width="400"></iframe><br /><br />What artists would you like to hear featured on <a href="mailto:onair@wolc.org"><b><i>The Artist of the Day</i></b></a>?<br /><br /><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">JOIN THE TEAM!</span><br />Joy 102.5 is a listener supported ministry. &nbsp;You can be a part of this amazing ministry by supporting us financially. <a href="http://wolc.org/donateFundraiser/index.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to learn more!<br /><br /><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">LISTEN ONLINE</span><br /><a href="http://www.nwrnetwork.com/listen/player.asp?station=wolc-fm" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for Joy 102.5!<br /><br />Josh Millwoodnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843229435633839484.post-91655266353210903692013-11-06T09:59:00.003-05:002013-11-06T09:59:59.316-05:00Wednesday, November 6, 2013Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike...<br /><br /><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;">ARTIST OF THE DAY</span><br /><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;">Casting Crowns</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://payload127.cargocollective.com/1/9/317660/4847579/casting_1000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="http://payload127.cargocollective.com/1/9/317660/4847579/casting_1000.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />Even as Casting Crowns has become Christian music's most successful act, Mark Hall and his fellow band members have continued working at their home churches.<br /><br />After all the accolades, all the awards, all the time on the road and in the studio, why does Casting Crowns continue to do what they do? The answer is simple: It’s their calling – God’s calling on the lives of these seven committed and talented musicians. To pour their lives into the students and families God has placed in their paths. To set discipleship to music. To challenge and strengthen the body of Christ.<br /><br />It’s what brought them together in the first place and what keeps them going.<br /><br /><b>Accolades:</b> Since its launch in 2003 the band has garnered 14 GMA Dove Awards, three GRAMMY Awards and an American Music Award. In addition, the band has seen three RIAA Platinum Albums, two RIAA Platinum DVDs, two RIAA Gold Albums and two Gold DVDs. Casting Crowns has sold more than 8.2 million albums to date and has been named Billboard magazine's top-selling Christian act for the past four years.<br /><br /><b>Off Days:</b> Ever wonder what artists do when they aren't busy with their own band? &nbsp;Well yesterday Mark Hall spoke at my old church in New Orleans - encouraging a group of young pastors. &nbsp;Then he went to see NEEDTOBREATHE in concert at the House of Blues!<br /><br /><b>Album:</b> <i><a href="https://castingcrowns.com/store/music" target="_blank">Come To The Well</a></i> &amp; <i><a href="https://castingcrowns.com/store/music" target="_blank">The Acoustic Sessions</a></i><br /><br /><b>Twitter:</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/castingcrowns" target="_blank">@castingcrowns</a><br /><br /><b>Instagram:</b> <a href="http://instagram.com/markhallcc/#" target="_blank">CLICK 4 PICS</a><br /><br /><b>Tour:</b> <a href="https://castingcrowns.com/tour" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Want More?</b> <a href="https://castingcrowns.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Video:</b> <i>City On A Hill</i><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="300" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/R7MC2wu49Cw?rel=0" width="400"></iframe><br /><br />What artists would you like to hear featured on <a href="mailto:onair@wolc.org"><b><i>The Artist of the Day</i></b></a>?<br /><br /><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">JOIN THE TEAM!</span><br />Joy 102.5 is a listener supported ministry. &nbsp;You can be a part of this amazing ministry by supporting us financially. <a href="http://wolc.org/donateFundraiser/index.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to learn more!<br /><br /><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: large;">LISTEN ONLINE</span><br /><a href="http://www.nwrnetwork.com/listen/player.asp?station=wolc-fm" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for Joy 102.5!<br /><br />Josh Millwoodnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843229435633839484.post-14048019653498696932013-11-05T10:43:00.003-05:002013-11-05T10:43:57.322-05:00Tuesday, November 5, 2013All week at schools across the country kids will be using their candy stash as illegal currency.<br /><br /><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">NEW RELEASE TUESDAY</span><br /><br />The White Room: Deluxe Edition<br />by Jonathan Thulin | Genre: Pop/Rock<br /><br />Journeys<br />by Salt Of The Sound | Genre: Inspirational<br /><br />Withholding Nothing CD/DVD<br />by William McDowell | Genre: Gospel<br /><br />ATLast<br />by Alex Faith | Genre: Rap<br /><br />Haze &amp; Reflections (Vanity Fare Remixed)<br />by Benjah | Genre: Urban<br /><br />No More Hell To Pay<br />by Stryper | Genre: Hard Rock<br /><br />Proof of Life<br />by Scott Stapp | Genre: Rock<br /><br /><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">CHRISTMAS</span><br /><br />Angel Band: The Christmas Sessions<br />by Andrew Greer | Genre: Christmas<br /><br />Christmas<br />by Julie Meyer | Genre: Christmas<br /><br /><b>WANT MORE?</b> <a href="http://www.newreleasetuesday.com/new_release.php#_" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">ARTIST OF THE DAY</span><br /><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: x-large;">The Neverclaim</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TfWv6xV5pjI/UnkRtW--UTI/AAAAAAAAAII/bNGWFVGrIvE/s1600/neverclaim01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TfWv6xV5pjI/UnkRtW--UTI/AAAAAAAAAII/bNGWFVGrIvE/s400/neverclaim01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />The Neverclaim is a 6-man band of eclectic backgrounds, from one of the more eclectic cities in North America, Portland. &nbsp;Lead singer Jeremiah Carlson says, "“We all have different personalities and musical backgrounds, but we all really love people and believe God wants to steal their hearts with His love."<br /><br />Jeremiah was a drummer for a Christian metal band who felt God calling him to lead worship. &nbsp;So he stepped down from metal and up to being a youth pastor. &nbsp;From within the youth group, Craigslist ads and friends of friends, The Neverclaim began to form. <br /><br />Ultimately, The Neverclaim walks what it talks by living out Christian community with each other and those who encounter the band. With a powerful message of spiritual revival, the guys pray for and minister to the people in their path. Jeremiah also serves on the National Youth Task Force within the Vineyard Church Movement, committing a lot of his time, along with the band, to the organization’s mission of being an outpost of God’s compassionate love in a broken world.<br /><br /><b>The Manna:</b> The Neverclaim are featured in this month's <a href="http://readthemanna.org/" target="_blank">MANNA Magazine</a>!<br /><br /><b>Album:</b> <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Neverclaim/dp/B00F4IEC66" target="_blank">The Neverclaim</a></i><br /><br /><b>Twitter:</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/theneverclaim" target="_blank">@theneverclaim</a><br /><br /><b>Instagram:</b> <a href="http://instagram.com/theneverclaim#" target="_blank">CLICK 4 PICS</a><br /><br /><b>Tour:</b> <a href="http://theneverclaim.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Want More?</b> <a href="http://theneverclaim.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Video:</b> <i>Quietdown</i> (Live)<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/S0HI2MVJnJE?rel=0" width="400"></iframe><br /><br />What artists would you like to hear featured on <a href="mailto:onair@wolc.org"><b><i>The Artist of the Day</i></b></a>?<br /><br /><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;">JOIN THE TEAM!</span><br />Joy 102.5 is a listener supported ministry. &nbsp;You can be a part of this amazing ministry by supporting us financially. <a href="http://wolc.org/donateFundraiser/index.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to learn more!<br /><br /><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: large;">LISTEN ONLINE</span><br /><a href="http://www.nwrnetwork.com/listen/player.asp?station=wolc-fm" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for Joy 102.5!<br /><br />Josh Millwoodnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843229435633839484.post-55662816904688890702013-11-04T15:11:00.002-05:002013-11-04T15:11:17.589-05:00Monday, November 4, 2013Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving... 23 Days!<br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">ARTIST OF THE DAY</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">Salvador</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://christianmusiczine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/salvador-make-some-noise-300x200.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://christianmusiczine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/salvador-make-some-noise-300x200.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />Salvador is a jam band. More jazz influenced than anything else, they take the stage every night without a set list. They are prayed up and ready to see where the Holy Spirit will take them! The band hails from Texas and brings a country sensibility, with heavy Latin influences to their modern praise and worship music. And they are ok with a 10 minute guitar solo smack in the middle of the song!<br /><br /><b>Family Ties:</b> Front man Nic Gozalez is married to Jaci Valasquez. It's safe to say that Christian music is their lifeblood.<br /><br />It's been over four years since the award winning band created new music together. &nbsp;To spark the creative flame, Nic Gonzalez decided to go back to the very beginning. &nbsp;He transformed his garage into a band room - stringing up Christmas lights for effect, and covering everything with carpet to protect his neighbors ears. &nbsp;The band piled in and did what had done as teenagers - they practiced and practiced and wrote a ton of new songs.<br /><br /><b>Bi-Lingual:</b> Salvador releases their albums in both English and Spanish.<br /><br /><b>Album:</b> <i><a href="http://salvadorlive.com/" target="_blank">Make Some Noise</a></i><br /><br /><b>Twitter:</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/salvadormusic" target="_blank">@salvadormusic</a><br /><br /><b>Tour:</b> <a href="http://salvadorlive.com/tour/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Want More?</b> <a href="http://salvadorlive.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Video:</b> <i>Higher Love</i> (Acoustic)<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/y-PNaknYxrw?rel=0" width="400"></iframe><br /><br />What artists would you like to hear featured on <a href="mailto:onair@wolc.org"><b><i>The Artist of the Day</i></b></a>?<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">JOIN THE TEAM!</span><br />Joy 102.5 is a listener supported ministry. &nbsp;You can be a part of this amazing ministry by supporting us financially. <a href="http://wolc.org/donateFundraiser/index.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to learn more!<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">LISTEN ONLINE</span><br /><a href="http://www.nwrnetwork.com/listen/player.asp?station=wolc-fm" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for Joy 102.5!<br /><br />Josh Millwoodnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843229435633839484.post-81842051864802730842013-11-01T09:00:00.000-04:002013-11-01T09:00:10.956-04:00Friday, November 1, 2013New month - new weekend - things are lookin' up!<br />And Happy All Saints Day!<br /><br /><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-large;">ARTIST OF THE DAY</span><br /><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-large;">FFH</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.grandhaventribune.com/sites/www.grandhaventribune.com/files/styles/large/public/ffh-0238_KEY-V1.jpg?itok=kHOUsWDo" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://www.grandhaventribune.com/sites/www.grandhaventribune.com/files/styles/large/public/ffh-0238_KEY-V1.jpg?itok=kHOUsWDo" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />FFH was orginally called Far From Home. &nbsp;Formed by Jeromy Deibler and Brian Smith in 1991 - the band added two more members: Jennifer Deibler (Jeromy's wife) and Michael Boggs. Working independently, FFH produced and released six albums, while maintaining a productive touring schedule. &nbsp;Ultimately, the quartet signed with Essential Records.<br /><br />Brian Smith transitioned into other ministries and Michael Boggs launched a solo career, though still participates in FFH recordings. &nbsp;At the heart of the group is a family who has faced tremendous hardship. &nbsp;The Dieblers took time off from music in 2006 to serve in South Africa. &nbsp;While abroad, Jeromy was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.<br /><br />FFH is back to business - having released several more albums since 2008. &nbsp;Their latest release is a bit of a departure for the stylistically-poppy group. &nbsp;The Way We Worship spotlights Jennifer's voice more than Jeromy - and has a rustic, almost-country charm. &nbsp;The concept of the album was born our of Jennifer loving to sing lullabies to her children, Hutch and Hope Sadie-Claire.<br /><br /><b>Home:</b> &nbsp;The Dieblers make their home just outside of Nashville, TN - where they lead worship at Fellowship Bible Church when not touring with FFH.<br /><br /><b>Album:</b> <i><a href="http://www.ffh.net/" target="_blank">The Way We Worship</a></i><br /><br /><b>Twitter:</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/FFHMusic" target="_blank">@FFHmusic</a><br /><br /><b>Want More?</b> <a href="http://ffh.net/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Video:</b> <i>One Of These Days</i><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="300" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/BbyymIhqpBg?rel=0" width="400"></iframe><br /><br />What artists would you like to hear featured on <a href="mailto:onair@wolc.org"><b><i>The Artist of the Day</i></b></a>?<br /><br /><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">JOIN THE TEAM!</span><br />Joy 102.5 is a listener supported ministry. &nbsp;You can be a part of this amazing ministry by supporting us financially. <a href="http://wolc.org/donateFundraiser/index.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to learn more!<br /><br /><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">LISTEN ONLINE</span><br /><a href="http://www.nwrnetwork.com/listen/player.asp?station=wolc-fm" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for Joy 102.5!<br /><br />Josh Millwoodnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843229435633839484.post-21766785278798177722013-10-31T10:25:00.004-04:002013-10-31T10:25:48.057-04:00Thursday, October 31, 2013Happy er...

Stuart and his brother David were putting together a rock band and McGinniss struck up a friendship with the pair. Along with David and Barry Blair they launched a band called A-180. The band recorded two independent albums before signing a record contract with ForeFront Records. It was then that they officially became Audio Adrenaline.<br /><br />Christian music would never be the same - or youth camp. &nbsp;Hits like <i>Big House</i> and <i>We're A Band</i> propelled the band to the forefront of a thriving Christian rock scene in the mid-90s. &nbsp;They were headliners for every Christian festival on the planet - and toured ceaselessly. &nbsp;Ultimately, that took a toll on their families and relationships. &nbsp;Exhaustion and family strain, plus a vocal disease for lead singer Mark Stuart led to the end of Audio Adrenaline.<br /><br />Or so it seemed...<br /><br />Just last year the band reformed - now with Kevin Max (formerly of DCTalk) as the new lead singer - with Mark Stuart writing and producing for the band (still unable to sing). &nbsp;The band's new album is taking the world by storm - and proceeds from the net profit go to fund the Hands &amp; Feet Project in Haiti! &nbsp;It's a brand new life for Audio Adrenaline!<br /><br /><b>Album:</b> <i><a href="http://audioadrenaline.shop.musictoday.com/Dept.aspx?cp=62116_62259" target="_blank">Kings &amp; Queens</a></i><br /><br /><b>Twitter:</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/audioadrenaline" target="_blank">@AudioAdrenaline</a><br /><br /><b>Instagram:</b> <a href="http://instagram.com/audioaofficial#" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Tour:</b> <a href="http://audioa.com/tour/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Want More?</b> <a href="http://audioa.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Video:</b> <i>Believer</i><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/lLDmrVPQd98?rel=0" width="400"></iframe><br /><br />What artists would you like to hear featured on <a href="mailto:onair@wolc.org"><b><i>The Artist of the Day</i></b></a>?<br /><br /><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">JOIN THE TEAM!</span><br />Joy 102.5 is a listener supported ministry. &nbsp;You can be a part of this amazing ministry by supporting us financially. <a href="http://wolc.org/donateFundraiser/index.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to learn more!<br /><br /><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">LISTEN ONLINE</span><br /><a href="http://www.nwrnetwork.com/listen/player.asp?station=wolc-fm" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for Joy 102.5!<br /><br /><br />Josh Millwoodnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843229435633839484.post-21736470369967970282013-10-30T09:51:00.003-04:002013-10-30T09:51:32.266-04:00Wednesday, October 30, 2013The week is half-way over - well done everybody!<br /><br /><span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;">ARTIST OF THE DAY<br />NewSong</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://simg.vevo.com/Content/VevoImages/video/189160F7964DB32E8F27BF3A95975B39.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://simg.vevo.com/Content/VevoImages/video/189160F7964DB32E8F27BF3A95975B39.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />After 30 years and 20 #1 radio hits - NewSong is still pushing the limits to reach a new generation for Christ. Members have come and gone - and some fresh young musicians have joined the core group to produce a sound that is both fresh and classic NewSong.<br /><br />When Eddie Carswell and Billy Goodwin, who continue to lead the evolving group, started out in 1981 at Morningside Baptist Church in Valdosta, Georgia, neither of them imagined NewSong would repeatedly outdo itself for so many years. Now the guys are headed into their fourth decade of music and just keeps getting better!<br /><br />After nearly a decade away, award winning front-man Russ Lee returned to the group in 2010. &nbsp;Their newest album <i>Swallow The Ocean</i> captures the essence of this evolving, multi-generational band, yet somehow still has the heart and soul of the NewSong of old.<br /><br /><b>Trend-Setters:</b> NewSong founded and continue to tour as a part of WinterJam. &nbsp;This massive multi-artist American tour brings Christian music's biggest acts to cities all across America and never charges more than $10. &nbsp;The goal - to bring the best music to everyone - and provide an incredible time of worship for the whole family!<br /><br /><b>Album:</b> <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Swallow-Ocean-Newsong/dp/B00ATP24N2" target="_blank">Swallow The Ocean</a></i><br /><br /><b>Twitter:</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/newsongonline" target="_blank">@newsongonline</a><br /><br /><b>Instagram:</b> <a href="http://instagram.com/newsong_online/#" target="_blank">CLICK 4 PICS</a><br /><br /><b>Tour:</b> <a href="http://newsongonline.com/index.php/tour" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Want More?</b> <a href="http://newsongonline.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Video:</b> <i>Who Loved You First</i><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/GAIREs6xxWE?rel=0" width="400"></iframe><br /><br />What artists would you like to hear featured on <a href="mailto:onair@wolc.org"><b><i>The Artist of the Day</i></b></a>?<br /><br /><span style="color: #990000;

David Crowder and Chris Seay founded University Baptist Church in 1995 - while still in school. The church grew - and so did the worship team. Crowder began writing songs to incorporate into the worship times at the church and eventually the church released an independent CD, <i>Pour Over Me</i>.<br /><br />After appearances at summer festivals and regional events, Sparrow Records signed the band who would go on to be a leader in the Passion movement and challenge what worship music could be. &nbsp;After the HUGE success of <i>Illuminate</i>, the band released an electronica EP called <i>Sunsets &amp; Sushi</i>, putting a new spin on their hit worship songs. And alongside&nbsp;<i>A Collsion</i>, the band released <i>B Collision</i>, featuring bluegrass and country versions of their biggest hits.<br /><br />Now on to the good news, two bands have birthday out of the phoenix-esque embers of DC*B, <a href="http://www.thedigitalagemusic.com/" target="_blank">The Digital Age</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.crowdermusic.com/home.html" target="_blank">Crowder</a>. &nbsp;Same guys, fun new music, endless opportunity to worship!<br /><br /><b>Album:</b> <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/All-This-King-Essential-Collection/dp/B00BY8DLOO/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1382973533&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=all+this+for+a+king" target="_blank">All This For A King</a></i><br /><br /><b>Twitter:</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/crowdermusic#" target="_blank">@crowdermusic</a><br /><br /><b>Instagram:</b> <a href="http://instagram.com/crowdermusic#" target="_blank">CLICK 4 PICS</a><br /><br /><b>Tour:</b> <a href="http://www.crowdermusic.com/tour" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Want More?</b> <a href="http://www.crowdermusic.com/home.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Video:</b> <i>How He Loves</i><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/TCunuL58odQ?rel=0" width="400"></iframe><br /><br />What artists would you like to hear featured on <a href="mailto:onair@wolc.org"><b><i>The Artist of the Day</i></b></a>?<br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">JOIN THE TEAM!</span><br />Joy 102.5 is a listener supported ministry. &nbsp;You can be a part of this amazing ministry by supporting us financially. <a href="http://wolc.org/donateFundraiser/index.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to learn more!<br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">LISTEN ONLINE</span><br /><a href="http://www.nwrnetwork.com/listen/player.asp?station=wolc-fm" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for Joy 102.5!<br /><br />Josh Millwoodnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843229435633839484.post-81431264154415129792013-10-25T08:35:00.000-04:002013-10-25T08:35:01.054-04:00Friday, October 25, 2013WEEKEND!

Chad had been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for years, and decided to go on a mission trip to re-build his relationship with God. It was there in the Dominican Republic where Chad’s eyes were opened and he came to know Christ in a powerful way.<br /><br />After Mike moved to Chad’s hometown of Maine, the two began playing music together, and performing live shows. Bass player Jon Lowry and drummer Ariel Munoz from Puerto Rico, later joined the band and Unspoken was born.<br /><br />In addition to their music, the band is involved with Celebrate Recovery, a 12-step recovery program for substance abuse. “In the early days of the band, God reminded me that there are thousands of singers better than me and thousands of guitar players better than Mike, but He chose us to do this for Him. We have been chosen to bring a message to the Church…wake up, find your contentment and satisfaction in Him, hang out with Him, and have a real relationship with Him,” says Chad. “Yes, we love music and we love people but more than anything we want to see people reach their full potential in Jesus.”<br /><br /><b>Album:</b> <i><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-world-is-waking-ep/id661976516?ls=1" target="_blank">The World Is Waking</a></i><br /><br /><b>Twitter:</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/unspokenmusic" target="_blank">@unspokenmusic</a><br /><br /><b>Instagram:</b> <a href="http://instagram.com/unspokenmusic#" target="_blank">CLICK 4 PICS</a><br /><br /><b>Tour:</b> <a href="http://unspokenmusic.com/site/?page_id=21" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Want More?</b> <a href="http://unspokenmusic.com/site/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Video:</b> <i>My Recovery</i> (Live)<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/9YVsEIUDeo4" width="400"></iframe><br /><br />What artists would you like to hear featured on <a href="mailto:onair@wolc.org"><b><i>The Artist of the Day</i></b></a>?<br /><br /><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">JOIN THE TEAM!</span><br />Joy 102.5 is a listener supported ministry. &nbsp;You can be a part of this amazing ministry by supporting us financially. <a href="http://wolc.org/donateFundraiser/index.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to learn more!<br /><br /><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">LISTEN ONLINE</span><br /><a href="http://www.nwrnetwork.com/listen/player.asp?station=wolc-fm" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for Joy 102.5!<br /><br />Josh Millwoodnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843229435633839484.post-22903472740310468492013-10-21T08:17:00.000-04:002013-10-21T08:17:00.614-04:00Monday, October 21, 2013Hey-Oh!<br />A new week has begun!<br /><br /><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: x-large;">ARTIST OF THE DAY</span><br /><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: x-large;">Nichole Nordeman</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UlL6h8tSiFI/UmEnAVF_jtI/AAAAAAAAAHM/p8W9OSekW4A/s1600/Nichole+Nordeman+Fall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UlL6h8tSiFI/UmEnAVF_jtI/AAAAAAAAAHM/p8W9OSekW4A/s400/Nichole+Nordeman+Fall.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />Back in 1998, Nichole Nordeman's album <i>Wide Eyed</i> burst onto the scene with a sincerity and even a desparation that hadn't been heard in a while. Songs like <i>To Know You</i> and <i>Who You Are</i> were so unafraid to tackle doubt that the album ushered in a new era of songwriting in Christian music - paving the way for Sara Groves, David Crowder, Jason Gray and others.<br /><br />15 years and 9 Dove Awards later - Nichole's voice is still a recognizable meloncholy that grabs your attention. Though it has been several years since she's recorded a full length album, Nichole Nordeman has been busy song writing with and for other artists, including Bethany Dillon and Amy Grant. She wrote and recorded songs for <i>Music Inspired By the Chronicles of Narnia</i> and VeggieTales' <i>Sweetpea Beauty</i>.<br /><br />Her biggest accomplishment in the last several years was writing/co-writing the entire double disc album <i>Music Inspired by The Story</i>. &nbsp;This collection features 18 songs written from the first person perspective of Bible characters. &nbsp;It features the voices of the biggest names in Christian music (MercyMe, Casting Crowns, Natalie Grant, Amy Grant, Chris Tomlin, Brandon Heath and many more) - but Nichole actually co-wrote the entire project!<br /><br />Nichole also lent her voice to a new recording of <i>Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus</i> which is featured on a modern hymns collection called <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Firm-Foundation-Hymns-Worship/dp/B00B04KV86" target="_blank">Jesus, Firm Foundation</a></i>. Her latest single is from a compilation of songs inspired by the life and teaching of <a href="http://myhopethealbum.com/" target="_blank">Billy Graham</a>.<br /><br /><b>Albums:</b> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nichole-Nordeman/e/B000APGF0Y/works/ref=ntt_mus_teaser?" target="_blank">Click Here</a><br /><br /><b>Book:</b> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Love-Story-holds-garden-gates/dp/1617950513/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1346082748&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=love+store+nichole+nordeman" target="_blank">Love Story</a><br /><br /><b>Twitter:</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/nicholenordeman" target="_blank">@nicholenordeman</a><br /><br /><b>Tour:</b> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nicholenordemanonline/events" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Want More?</b> <a href="http://www.nicholenordeman.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Video:</b> <i>Legacy</i><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/2KEe-dA3a4M?rel=0" width="400"></iframe><br /><br />What artists would you like to hear featured on <a href="mailto:onair@wolc.org"><b><i>The Artist of the Day</i></b></a>?<br /><br /><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">JOIN THE TEAM!</span><br />Joy 102.5 is a listener supported ministry. &nbsp;You can be a part of this amazing ministry by supporting us financially. <a href="http://wolc.org/donateFundraiser/index.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to learn more!<br /><br /><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">LISTEN ONLINE</span><br /><a href="http://www.nwrnetwork.com/listen/player.asp?station=wolc-fm" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for Joy 102.5!<br /><br />Josh Millwoodnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843229435633839484.post-10205497292805070512013-10-16T08:07:00.002-04:002013-10-16T08:07:49.108-04:00Sharathon on Joy! 102.5<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://wolc.worldsecuresystems.com/donateFundraiser/index.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="221" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g8Q7vo0A7IY/Ul6BSqV5nfI/AAAAAAAAAG8/TWeUf032cUg/s400/Joy+Sharathon+01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>SHARATHON IS HERE!</i></b></span><br /><a href="https://wolc.worldsecuresystems.com/donateFundraiser/index.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Give now!</span></a><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">Or call 410-543-9652 to give on the phone!</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>Josh Millwoodnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843229435633839484.post-68705520125862636082013-10-07T06:01:00.001-04:002013-10-07T06:01:40.158-04:00Monday, October 7, 2013<span style="font-size: large;">Sharathon is fast approaching and we need your help!</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Join us in prayer - and action.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Even though Sharathon doesn't go live on the air until Wednesday, October 16th - you can give even now towards our Sharathon goal:</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://wolc.worldsecuresystems.com/donateFundraiser/index.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> and join the team!</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.socialearth.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/are-you-a-detroit-real-estate-investor-lets-start-working-together.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.socialearth.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/are-you-a-detroit-real-estate-investor-lets-start-working-together.png" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>Josh Millwoodnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843229435633839484.post-87545112532439853742013-10-04T11:01:00.000-04:002013-10-04T11:01:00.679-04:00Friday, October 4, 2013Smile - the weekend is here!<br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large;">ARTIST OF THE DAY</span><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large;">33 Miles</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lUw7T9OCHgA/UkmSA-spWqI/AAAAAAAAAGs/ycswJOyo7DE/s1600/33miles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="147" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lUw7T9OCHgA/UkmSA-spWqI/AAAAAAAAAGs/ycswJOyo7DE/s400/33miles.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />Chris Lockwood and Jason Barton are 33 Miles. After the breakout success of One Life, &nbsp;founding member Collin Stoddard left the trio to follow God's calling on his life to be a full time worship pastor. Now the duo (Chris and Jason) press on, making music, leading worship and growing their faith.<br /><br />“Nothing we can accomplish in business, no amount of education—nothing compares to Jesus,” says Chris, “But how our salvation translates to how we live today is the question. To wake up every day and make the choice to live with heaven in mind, to not let the circumstances of this day override that choice. It’s easier said than done, but getting up every day and trying makes it more and more possible.”<br /><br />Chris and Jason raised the money to produce their latest worship album through Kickstarter - relying on their fans and faith instead of dealing with a record label. &nbsp;The album came out this month, so looks like they hit their goal!<br /><br /><b>Album:</b> <i><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/ke/album/let-it-be-glory/id686651492" target="_blank">Let It Be Glory</a></i><br /><br /><b>Twitter:</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/33miles" target="_blank">@33Miles</a><br /><br /><b>Tour:</b> <a href="http://33milesonline.com/tour/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Want More?</b> <a href="http://33milesonline.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Video:</b> <i>What A Faithful God</i><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="225" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/SqjBjTu2ogY?rel=0" width="400"></iframe><br /><br />What artists would you like to hear featured on <a href="mailto:onair@wolc.org"><b><i>The Artist of the Day</i></b></a>?<br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">JOIN THE TEAM!</span><br />Joy 102.5 is a listener supported ministry. &nbsp;You can be a part of this amazing ministry by supporting us financially. <a href="http://wolc.org/donateFundraiser/index.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to learn more!<br /><br /><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">LISTEN ONLINE</span><br /><a href="http://www.nwrnetwork.com/listen/player.asp?station=wolc-fm" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for Joy 102.5!<br /><br />Josh Millwoodnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843229435633839484.post-88112764308105517482013-10-03T10:59:00.000-04:002013-10-03T10:59:00.313-04:00Thursday, October 3, 2013So...<br />Beach day?<br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">ARTIST OF THE DAY</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">Newsboys</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VeoLEjA1dOc/UkmReHNbiLI/AAAAAAAAAGk/TOy3EpIHIE4/s1600/newsboys01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VeoLEjA1dOc/UkmReHNbiLI/AAAAAAAAAGk/TOy3EpIHIE4/s400/newsboys01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />Part of the Holy Trinity of 90s Christian music (DC Talk, Audio Adrenaline, and The Newsboys) - The Newsboys have been touring the globe for nearly 25 years! The band originated in Australia, but the current line-up is a bit more diverse.<br /><br /><b>Facts:</b> The Newsboys were formed in 1985 as "The News" in Queensland, Austrailia. There are no original members performing in the band's current line-up.<br /><br />The Newsboys just released a brand new album (their 17th!) called <i>Restart</i> and it continues to rearrange your preconceived ideas of what worship music can be. &nbsp;"This generation has lost its heroes and people to look up to. As a band we want to reengage our culture and have a real positive effect," said drummer Duncan Phillips to the Christian Post. "I think it’s time that we jumped in not to be apart of it, knowing who we are and having courage to <i>do</i> the great commission."<br /><br />Phillips unabashedly says <i>Restart</i> is "the best Newsboys record we’ve ever penned and recorded," and his bandmates agree.<br /><br /><b>Album:</b> <i><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/restart-deluxe-edition/id689522172?ign-mpt=uo%3D4" target="_blank">Restart</a></i><br /><br /><b>Twitter:</b> <a href="https://twitter.com/newsboys" target="_blank">@newsboys</a><br /><br /><b>Instagram:</b> <a href="http://instagram.com/newsboys/#" target="_blank">CLICK 4 PICS</a><br /><br /><b>Tour:</b> <a href="http://newsboys.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Want More?</b> <a href="http://newsboys.com/" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /><b>Video:</b> <i>Live With Abandon</i><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="300" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/bIQf5dD7Y9k?rel=0" width="400"></iframe><br /><br />What artists would you like to hear featured on <a href="mailto:onair@wolc.org" target="_blank"><b><i>The Artist of the Day</i></b></a>?<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">JOIN THE TEAM!</span><br />Joy 102.5 is a listener supported ministry. &nbsp;You can be a part of this amazing ministry by supporting us financially. <a href="http://wolc.org/donateFundraiser/index.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to learn more!<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">LISTEN ONLINE</span><br /><a href="http://www.nwrnetwork.com/listen/player.asp?station=wolc-fm" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for Joy 102.5!<br /><br />Josh Millwoodnoreply@blogger.com0
